You have to remember that I haven't been since I was a kid myself, so all I can go by is what I read on these boards and leave the rest up to my imagination. The Unofficial Guide changed the crowd prediction for May 7-14 from a 3 to an 8!!! So then I picture it so busy that you can't even walk...

Thanks all for the reassurance. I guess rescheduling isn't too common since no one mentioned it. I definitely have pre-trip anxiety, but hopefully it will all work out! :sunny:

Hi- Earlier this year, after much deliberation I booked a trip the second week of May (7th -14th) and now I see it was probably one of the busiest times I could have chosen. I feel foolish for picking that particular week and it has put a major damper on my feelings about the trip. I want to...

May 5th and 8th are both listed as 4s, I guess because of Mothers day and the start of the 50th celebration, but maybe those are your travel days. I believe the prior weekend has some grad nights on the 29th and 30th when the MK closes at 7 pm. It's probably a tossup. From what I've read, I...

It's weird but the second week of May almost seems like it will be busier than the first. If you look at the list of who is going in May, there are definitely more people going the 2nd week. When I tried to book flights from Chicago, it was more expensive the 2nd week of May because the good...

Sorry for the inaccuracy on my part! I can't remember exactly when I went to Epcot. Let's just say I went within the first few years of its opening. All I can recall is that some of the countries were still under construction. My memories of it are not as clear as the MK. I only remember...

My last trip to the MK was when I was 12 years old and I'm now 35. I remember it pretty well and saw most of the park during a one day trip. I definitely remember a beautifully clean place and long lines. I loved all the rides except for maybe Hall of Presidents. I also went to Epcot a couple...

We're staying at the Poly in May and I am looking for suggestions for dinners. I don't necessarily want character meals or big buffets--just nice (moderate) places to eat. My two youngest barely eat anything so I am actually trying to avoid buffets. I made a PS for Ohana for our first night but...

I heard through a reservations person that Regis is going to be there!

I called about 85 days ahead for the Princess Storybook breakfast and there was only one breakfast opening over a two-day period. It's not my ideal time, but I have 3 young girls so I would like to something with princesses. Is this typical? I thought from the UG to WDW that only CRT was hard to...

I am so frustrated! I picked out a flight from Chicago a few days ago (for May) and while I was trying to book it today the price went up in front of my eyes. It is already almost full, which is obviously why the price went up. I am so surprised to see a full flight 3 months out. When do most...

I haven't been reading much on this board, so I apologize if these are obvious questions. I don't think I want to overdo the PS's in case I want to change my plans. Couldn't they add stress? Are they needed for breakfasts at resorts? Can they be made last minute? Or should I being doing this...

I just looked online and it didn't appear the GVC at Poly was sold out for that timeframe. I wonder why?

I don't have an answer for you, but I understand how you are feeling. I am unclear as to what effect the 50th celebration will have on May. Some people feel that it won't be too bad because it's an 18 month celebration. I have also considered end of April but am not completely confident that it...

This might seem like a really dumb question, but I'm confused about whether we might need a car while staying at the Poly. Obviously, getting to the parks will be a breeze... but what if I wanted to go the WL for dinner? I haven't been to WDW in 25 years so I don't really know what it is like...

I am in the same boat! I picked the first week of May and keep worrying about what it will be like. I don't think it will be busier because of people trying to be there for openings necessarily, but I am wondering if the press events/early park closings will cause other parks to be more crowded...

Who is going the first week of May? Has anyone figured out which parks will be closing early for press events? I am reading things here and there but would like to see it in one place. Thanks!

I've read that you may receive a discount code if you sign up at the Disney website or for their credit card. Will you receive a code if you already have reservations? (If I were Disney, I wouldn't offer discounts to people who already appear to be a sure thing.) Wouldn't they check before they...

I finally found a description of the 50th Anniversary-- it's called the Happiest Celebration on Earth. Looks like they are doing some cool stuff. http://disneyworld.disney.go.com/wdw/happiestCelebration?id=HappiestCelebrationPage
